Although missing out on our annual im- mersion weekend, the club has decided to-save their money for a trip to Spain next spring. In order to raise money for this trip, the club has held many fund raising projects such as selling carnations at Valentine’s Day and for Easter, selling homemade bunnies. Row 1: D. Smith, S.

Student Council The purpose of a Student Council is to promote and en- courage im- provements for the best interests of the school, act as a communication link between students and facul- ty, provide a forum for the expression of student opinion, promote unity and understanding, and provide the student body with leader- ship. This year’s Student Council did an excellent job in serving these pur- poses. The leading forces in this year’s council were Vicki O’Neill as Presi- dent, Andy Bissell as Vice President, Anne Marie Furgal as Secretary and Matty Matteson as Treasurer. Row 1: T. Martin, S.

The Horse Sense Club has entered its fourth year of ex- istence and is still going strong. What the club lacks in membership (8 members) it makes up for in spirit. At this rate CHS can expect its Horse Sense Club to continue from a struggling existence to a school tradition. 83 NHS Row 1: Mrs. Renick, K. Keller, C. Wilson, C. Donnelly, S.

The NHS has been involved in various activities throughout the year. Their working at Higher Education Night and concession stands are only examples. This year’s members are well respected and liked by both the students and faculty. They are looking forward to passing on the tradition to promising Juniors. WCHR After coming dangerou- sly close to extinction, WCHR has redeemed itself and become a standard component in the average stu- dent’s life. WCHR broadcasts in the cafeteria all during the school day. The staff is looking forward to new members in the next year. 84 Row 1: T. Barber, P. Danehey. Row 2: K. Shorette, T. Bokat, M. Lindgren.

MATTESON GRADE 11 PROGRESS Journey; lose yourself; be mesmerized, Reruns and game shows control your eyes. Punk rock, disco, the hell with the news. Lose sense of reality, gain rhythm and blues. Underneath the screen, below DigDug, Sits the source of our pleasure — a program and a plug. Syringes, coke, and LSD Keeping life a trip — a fantasy. Amphetamines mixed with Bloody Marys Love media coverage in the obituaries. Warheads, missiles, rockets, grenades; Asphyxiate the world with the things we’ve made. Yield to technology — we are told such; but let’s Study earth’s destiny, before we learn too much. Sean Keller Grade 11 THE □F FISU Runners In shorts and shirts of nylon or cotton Runners are athletes often forgotten. Wearing nice sneakers, the best they can buy, They keep in good shape; I don’t wonder why. The face of a runner is usually red With drops of sweat trickling down the forehead. Muscles quite strong, I certainly hope so, If not, they would probably run rather slow. Some of them run simply to keep fit And some run because they can’t stand to sit. Some run at six, through the morning fog. Others wait for sunset, then start to jog. The runner tries hard to keep a strong pace. Each hopes eventually to win a big race. In practice or on their own every day, They run through their workouts with no dismay. Sometime, though, they may say (just to complain), The true definition of hill is pain!” This is quite correct, as you may soon see, It’s hard to run up hills that some actually ski. Runners also find from a long woods run Being scratched by thorns isn’t that much fun. Roads are great too, if you don’t care for scars, But then you have to look out for the cars. Because they live through what has been stated, Runners are said to be dedicated. Some runners, in fact, are quite serious Others are sometimes thought delirious. Of course you will find wherever you seek, All runners are, in their own way, unique. Sara Richardson Grade 12 Beyond --- 'X ,J' ‘r1' A jiiUiirail! h ju� n� «uatt4 fStHr’ :5 3 MrlBi.r yggjgi rm. .

It was an ancient, strong, wise oak. He was there before anybody could remember. He had always been there. All kinds of people had come under his branches looking for shelter: lovers, poets, thieves and gyp- sies; and from all of them he had learned something. His roots had reached so deep inside the ground that no storm or drought could make him succumb. Everything was all right until one day an infernal machine came to the forest destroying everything that was on its way. And it knocked the old oak down, without any respect for his age or wisdom. A few days later there was a modern building where the oak had been. Do we do the same in our society today, ravaging the elderly without considering all they have done for us? If and when we do, we not only hurt their feelings but also our integrity as human beings. ARACELI GONZALES GRADE 12 FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT FROM SPAIN 106 A human's growth is like a vine's: Beginning with the roots - Deep ties to origin of birth, That later send out shoots. With sunlight, food, water, and love, They grow, expand, and add New leaves and branches to the ones That, by growth, they have had. Some think of vines as ugly; Yes, the withered vines that droop. But beautiful are the ones that climb So high, that decorate, and loop.

With the dark I see so very clearly now. All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now, fading away. I can say the night is long, but you are here close at hand. I’m better for the smile you give. And while I live, I will follow you. Will you follow me all the days and nights that we know will be? I will stay with you. Will you stay with me just one single tear in each passing year there will be. 138 139 (graduation 1384 May God bless and keep you always May your wishes all come true May you always do for others And let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung And may you stay forever young May your hands always be busy May your feet always be swift May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift May your heart always be joyful May your song always be sung And may you stay forever young May you stay forever young May you grow up to be righteous May you grow up to be true May you always know the truth And see the light surrounding you May you always be courageous Stand up proud and be strong And may you stay forever young 140 — Bob Dylan Whenever I call you friend I begin to think I understand Anywhere we are You and I are meant to be Forever and ever I see myself within your eyes And that’s all I need to show me why Everything I do Always takes me home to you Forever and ever — Kenny Loggins — Melissa Manchester 141 SKIS I THINK THAT I HAVE COME TO SEE THE REASON WHY MOST PEOPLE SKI: IT'S NOT THE SNOW UPON THE HILLS; IT'S NOT THE TURNS, THE JUMPS, THE SPILLS IT'S NOT THE RIDING IN THE LIFT; IT'S NOT COLLAPSING IN A DRIFT. THE SKIING BIT IS JUST A DODGE FOR FINDING DATES INSIDE THE LODGE! Peter Simpson Beyond This is a symbol first developed in ancient China which shows that two opposites combine to form a totality. Continuity is only achieved when both contrasting parts are in union. The symbol can represent light and dark, happiness and sadness, good and evil, masculinity and feminity, and life and death. The dots represent imperfections on both sides showing that opposites are not pure. Hence, there is a bit of darkness in light, a bit of sadness in happiness, and so on. This concept of Yin and Yang is still revered in some oriental cultures today. paui Danehy Grade 11 144 Beyond Philosophy 101 Saccharine, nitrates, Red Dye 5, Who gives us a chance to stay alive? Aluminum cars get great gas mileage, But in an accident, whose body parts will be garbage? Electric cords unravel and fray, And when your house burns down, do the companies pay? Nuclear power plants in our backyard, In the poker game of life, are we even a card? Do we live in a democracy, as everyone swears, Or are we controlled by a few bigwigs upstairs?

While we who toil, worry and pray, do our best to please. At times we think and question the worth of all our grief, and then I look beyond high school. . . the answer lies beneath Our pains and cares will pay off soon; there is a reason for all this knowledge: How well we do may one day decide whether we do or don’t go to college.
